Answer:

F' = F

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be given by Newton's Gravitational Law as follows:

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

F = Force of attraction

G = Universal gravitational costant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = distance between objects

Now, if the masses and the distance between them is doubled:

F' = \frac{G(2m_1)(2m_2)}{(2r)^2}\\\\F' = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

<u>F' = F</u>

When you jump, you push down on the earth and it pushes back up against you. The earth pushing up against you is what causes you
MissTica

That's a great question !

The answer is:<em> It does !</em>

A push on an object causes the object to <u><em>accelerate</em></u> in the direction of the force.  

The <em>less</em> mass the object has, the <em>more</em> the force accelerates it.

Now, when you jump, the forces on you and on the Earth are equal forces.

The up force on you causes you to accelerate up by some amount.

The down force on the Earth causes the Earth to accelerate down by some amount.

The Earth's mass is something like 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, while your mass is something like 50 kg.

The Earth has something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 <em>times</em> as much mass as you have.

So your acceleration is something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 <em>times as great as the Earth's acceleration.</em>

==> The Earth's downward acceleration, caused by your jump, is there.  It's just too small to notice.

<em>BUT . . .</em> That's the reason why seismometers (instruments to detect and measure the vibrations from distant earthquakes) have to be located as far as possible from cities and busy roads.

In places that are too close to cities and roads, the Earth's surface is always vibrating, wiggling, jiggling, heaving and weaving, in reaction to the forces of people walking around, cars and trucks driving around, even rain falling down.  And kids jumping up and down !  

In such places, these people-motions are louder and stronger than the vibrations coming from distant earthquakes.  Seismometers wouldn't work there.

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

Approximately how much air is in a column 1-cm2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere?
laila [671]

Approximately 101 N air is in a column 1-cm2 in cross-section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere

The basic level for determining height and depth on Earth is the sea level. The ocean's surface tends to seek the same level since it is one continuous body of water. However, the sea level is never fully level due to winds, currents, river discharges, and changes in gravity and temperature.

At the equator, the radius of the Earth at sea level is 6378.137 km (3963.191 mi). At the poles, it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 km), and on average, it is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi). The elevation of the shoreline—the boundary between the ocean and the land—is referred to as sea level. Land that is higher than this altitude is above sea level, and land that is lower is below sea level.
